This is a really cute set of nipple clamps from PHS International, that features three blue dangling beads with a little star at the tip. They are more for decorative purposes, and won’t give you that wild pinching sensation that many experienced kinsters love. For this reason, these clamps are more for the novice just getting in to nipple clamps.

They are tweezer style clamps which means there is a little ring that slides down to adjust the tightness so they don’t fall off. The tips have little rubber covers that can be removed, but the clamps have a good grip, even with the rubber tips on. The tips curve in towards each other, allowing them to stay on the nipples very well.

Each clamp is about 5 inches long. The clamps without the beads is 3 inches long, so they will stick out a fair bit. Once in place, they stay on very well. The beads are plastic, but the rest of the clamps are metal. The clamps and the slider ring seem to be very sturdy, and will probably last a very long time. If you need to clean them, wipe them down with a damp wash cloth, and towel dry them so they don’t rust.

The clamps come in a plastic casing that clearly shows them off. The packaging is rather large, and too bulky for storage. The packaging isn’t even that tasteful, so I don’t think it is good for gift giving unless it’s for a partner who clearly expressed interest in nipple clamps. There are no instructions included, but it is pretty straightforward on how you should use them.

Once you get your nipple clamps, I recommend testing them out on the tip of your pinkie finger to get an idea of how to adjust them, and know what they feel like before clamping them on your nipples. Start out wearing them for 5 minutes, and steadily increase the length of time as you get more comfortable with them. Remember to take them off immediately if there is any discomfort or loss of sensation.

These were my first nipple clamps, and I really enjoyed using them. I love the way the beads dangle and wiggle with every movement. The ring is a little hard to adjust, but this means it won’t accidentally change on you if you don’t want it to. Another thing I would watch out for is the little ring that holds the beads onto the clamps. I think it is the flimsiest part of the clamps, but pliers will easily fix the problem if the beads fall off. For this reason, I don’t recommend tugging at them. To take them off, just slide the ring back and the arms will open up. Overall, this is a really cute and fun set of clamps to play with. Everyone should have a pair of nipple clamps in their collection. I know for sure this won’t be my last pair.

I only wear these once in a while, but they are my only nipple clamps. I'm sure there's better out there but these perform as needed while still being very cute.
